Tex, saying "I like blacks [Chinese, Hispanics, whatever, fill in the blank] who have high morals and are hard working" is one of the most infamous and cliched racist comments that can possibly be made, apart from just hurling an epithet at them. The fact that you are blind to it just reinforces my point. In this day and age this statement is most often made jokingly in parody of an ignoramus or bigot.
